Thank you very much!
I believe you also want to see the verbiage of correctable errors... especially Art 2.

Rule 2 Section 10
Art. 1... Officials may correct an error if a rule is inadvertently set aside and results in:
a. Failure to award a merited free throw.
b. Awarding an unmerited free throw.
c. Permitting the wrong player to attempt a free throw.
d. Attempting the free throw at the wrong basket.
e. Erroneously counting or canceling a score.

Art. 2... In order to correct any of the officials' errors listed in Article 1, such error must be recognized by an official during the first dead ball after the clock has properly started.

Art 3... If in Article 1e the error is made while the clock is running and the ball dead, it must be recognized by an official before the second live ball.

Art 4... If the error is a free throw by the wrong person or at the wrong basket, or the awarding of an unmerited free throw and the activity during it, other than an unsporting, flagrant, intentional, or technical fouls, shall be canceled.

Art 5... Points scored, consumed time and additional activity, which may occur prior to the recognition of an error, shall not be nullified. Errors because of free throw attempts by the wrong player or at the wrong basket shall be corrected by applying 8-1 and 2.

Art. 6... If an error is corrected, play shall be resumed from the point at which it is interrupted to rectify the error, unless it involves awarding a merited free throw(s) and there has been no change of team possession since the error was made, in which case play shall resume as after any free-throw attempt(s).
